I am looking specifically for the laws/regulations that the Maryland BSWE must follow when investigating a complaint against a social worker. I am also looking for the personal rights of respondents involved in complaint investigations through the board of social work.

There is the Maryland Health Occupations Code, which sets forth the statutory laws respecting social workers and the Board’s creation and responsibilities and powers.
The Board is empowered to draft and adopt regulations to carry out its purposes under the law. Agency regulations are all... View More

I don't think MCL 15.243 protects you here. You're requesting a copy of a report made upon your complaint. If this relates to a criminal allegation, I don't see how you could remain anonymous, unless you reported this through Silent Observer.

The only information I found was that you can not have red or green lights visible directly in front, and you can not have flashing or amber lights. Does this mean I can have red mounted on the sides with blue as long as they are constantly on and not flashing or rotating?
answered on Nov 18, 2024
Below is a statute that addresses some of the restrictions on the lights. Depending on where you drive, there are also other ordinances and laws that apply.

Your lawyer should write a letter to the judge and ask him/her to order probation to return your license. You may also be able to clear your license with the DMV and simply get a new license from them if your statutory revocation period has ended and you are no longer on probation supervision.

Someone like a town administrator is a public official as their authority to exercise significant discretion comes from the people who hired him/her to act on their behalf: the elected body of the Board of Selectmen. As such, their significant authority is delegated from an elected body. That would... View More

The morgue claims to have taken the body from the hospital, however their records state the body was at the morgue the following day.
answered on Oct 7, 2024
Do you have an exact timeline? It would not be uncommon for the transfer to have occurred in the overnight hours, or for the hospital to have kept the body until the next day. I'm unsure where else the body would have been transferred to between the hospital and morgue except maybe an off-site... View More

I’ve received a few parking tickets from the University of Tennessee. I was wondering what would happen if I don’t pay them and if there are any repercussions to not doing so.
answered on Sep 25, 2024
Parking Tickets are rarely moving violations, so do not go on your MVR. You can be sued for the money, and if the same Court that hears your Parking Tickets also has a Rule of the Road Violation before it, you will have to pay the Parking Citations prior to dealing with the other Offenses cited.
